Larry Rubin, de la American Society of Mexico propone un Tratado de “combate al narco” entre 🇲🇽 y 🇺🇸

Pero, ¿qué es realmente la American Society of Mexico y cuáles son sus intenciones reales?

US OFFICIALS MISLABELLED EVERY AFRICAN COUNTRY it named at a conference this week.

Top US envoy Jeff Graham showed a slide of a diagram with African nations in random positions, with no relation to reality.

The audience at a global conference in Brazil, many of whom were familiar with Africa’s real geography, were stunned by the US State Department presentation.

.

NATIONS SHIFTED THOUSANDS OF MILES
- Nigeria was moved from the coast to the middle of the Sahara desert.

- Cameroon was moved in a northeasterly direction.

- Mozambique was moved from south-eastern Africa to the northeast part known as the Horn of Africa.

- Côte d’Ivoire was moved from west Africa to the eastern coast.

After a picture of the presentation was shared in a Substack post by Emily Bass, who works in AIDS prevention, the State Department said: “We take full responsibility for the confusion and misrepresentation it caused for attendees, including our African partners.” The presentation was made at the Aids 2026 conference in ⁠Rio de Janeiro earlier this week.

‘OPENAI USED TO MAKE MAP’
Analysis indicated that staff apparently used OpenAI to make the map, and the program “hallucinated” the countries’ locations instead of looking them up.

The result was evidently not checked by actual humans before being released.

.

PEOPLE AREN'T FACTCHECKING
Many analysts fear that the widespread careless use of AI is causing vast amounts of damage to the foundations of human knowledge.

Even if 80% to 90% of the generated material is roughly correct, the rest, which consists of outright lies presented as dependable data, can cause immense harm, they warn.

If professional politicians and mainstream journalists aren't factchecking, the public definitely won't either.

.

GLOBAL CALL FOR AI CO-OPERATION
At the 2026 World AI Conference last week in Shanghai, China, delegates from more than 100 countries and international organisations discussed these issue.

While there was widespread agreement that it was imperative for countries to co-operate to head off potential AI-caused disasters, there was also concern about the hostile, uncooperative attitudes of some western nations.

@dannydanon I am from Ceuta, and Spain has never oppressed us. You genocidal maniacs do not get to weaponise our identity or speak on our fucking behalf. Shut the fuck up.

Only an American outlet could ponder "Millions of lives are at stake and a country is doing something to avert that crisis...why?"

La dictadura marroquí al servicio de EEUU e Israel chantajea un verano más a España y Europa convirtiendo a su propia gente en carne de cañón arrojadiza.

Algo que en lugar de ser objeto de politiqueo partidista debería ser objeto de un pacto de Estado transversal.

If you think that this is just something for fun, you are beyond stupid. Rewriting history will be easier when you can make fake AI footage to back it up. A new Orwellian nightmare reality.

You’re saying wealthy donors should get to dictate how museums share history and educate the public? Really?

[Kathleen Tyson @Kathleen_Tyson_]

The Moroccan invasion of Ceuta today, a Spanish autonomous city south of Gibraltar, may be a joint operation with US-Isreal to take control of the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.

They might seek to punish Spain for being pro-Palestine while seizing control of Mediterranean navigation, a key naval choke point.

We all have our criticisms of UEFA too, but this is necessary. FIFA can’t exist without UEFA. UEFA, on the other hand, could exist without FIFA.

Peru's far-right US puppet leader was just inaugurated as president, and immediately, in her 1st speech, she announced a state of emergency to deploy the military locally to maintain "order".

Keiko Fujimori is the daughter of a US-backed fascist dictator who committed genocide.

Protestor interrupts @SenSchumer while he speaks about Trump's corruption: "It's amazing that you can show your genocidal face in public!"

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Persecución política en el Perú

Tercer día del gobierno y ya empezó la persecución. Están pidiendo detención preliminar y allanamiento para líderes sociales y comunicadores por las protestas de 2022. Entre los acusados está nuestro amigo @Yachay_Wasy , únicamente por cubrir la marcha y arengar contra Dina Boluarte.

PROTESTAR NO ES DELITO.
Se viene la persecución contra la prensa alternativa, la única que no pueden controlar.
